Nightlife clothing disappeared...UGH
RabidAngel:
Hi all,
I've just had a problem arise.
Bodyshop is no longer showing any Nightlife clothing...University clothing is all there are in tact, but the Nightlife stuff is completely gone.
I tried removing my downloads and savedsims and restarted Bodyshop, and still no Nightlife stuff...
There are one are two meshes that are showing as blanks as well...but I don't think those are Nightlife meshes.
I'm completely baffled. Has anyone experienced this issue? And would someone be kind enough to suggest a remedy?
I tried looking in my sims cd to find the 3d content, but all of the file names are obscured, and they are compressed. Plus, I don't even know if that would do the trick. I'd be most appreciative of any help...First I lost my pork chops, and now I've lost my Nightlife clothing. If I don't respond, you'll all know that I've put an end to this vicious cycle of woe and misery. ::)
Thanks a bunch!

I once lost all Maxis hair and makeup and only had custom available. Weird stuff like that happens sometimes. :( I tried using the old TS2 and Uni bodyshop versions but the NL stuff still shows up in them for me. Do the outfits show up in the CAS at all? Can you buy them in the game?
Anyhow, the files in question are the 14 simsxx.package files, sims00.package through sims13.package, which go in C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 Nightlife\TSData\Res\3D and skins.package which goes in C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 Nightlife\TSData\Res\Catalog\Skins
The may be inside of a zip file on the CD. I know off hand the objects.package file is in compressed.zip.
If copying those files from the CD to those directories doesn't help, the only other thing I can suggest is to backup your neighborhoods and do a reinstall. :(
RabidAngel:
Hi Motoki,
Thanks so much for the advice. I will try those things.
To answer your questions...
No, the clothing does not even show in CAS or in game when buying from community lots (or the like).
This is so weird....If all else fails, I'll just do a clean re-install. I don't really mind, it's just a bit time consuming. I really appreciate the help, though. I'll let you know how it goes in case it ever happens to anyone else, LOL.
Thank you very, very much.
RabidAngel:
Okay, I just tried replacing the afore mentioned files...to no avail. Still no Nightlife clothing. The only package I was unable to locate on my Nightlife cd was the skins.package...I checked all of the compressed files and no such file showed up.
I guess it's time to do a re-install. I just wish I knew how this sort of thing happened so that I can prevent it from occuring in the future.
Thanks again, Motoki. As always, you've been extremely helpful.

I had a townie move into one of the lots Downtown, she changed her hairstyle to one of the Uni ones, and everytime she went in the shower her old hairstyle was back, but once she got dressed, the new one reappeared! The old hairstyle also appeared when she went to bed - I don't know about workout clothes, though.
